As the title says which announced games are you looking forward to?

Mine are: StarCraft 2, Street Fighter 4, Age of Conan, World of Warcraft: Wrath of the Lich King, Star Wars: The Force Unleashed, Killzone 2, Gran Turismo 5, Metal Gear Solid 4, Grand Theft Auto IV, Fallout 3, Super Smash Bros: Brawl.

I'm amazed you have so much time on your hands... :-)

I was looking forward to Turok for PC until I read the reviews. There's a prequel to Stalker called Clear Sky announced for August, that I definitely want to play. Then of course there's Rage. I may also have a look at Fallout 3, although I'm not familiar with the originals (but that may be an advantage).

Both my 5-year-old son and I are eagerly awaiting Starcraft 2.

And there was me thinking the thread title referred to the Olympics.

For those games, I look forward to the Archery. This is recent in the Olympics even though an ancient art. The Chinese have an Archery history.

But in the Olympics they stick to Target. This is a shame. The better, more exciting disciplines are ignored. Disciplines like Field, where shooting in forests between the trees, across ravines, through bushes is the norm and multi-range, shooting upward and downward, or from one level to another, obscured targets etc are used. Fitness and agility are needed. Or Clout, where the target is a long way distant, an extreme parabolic trajectory is needed and the arrow comes down on a flat-ground target. In France the Clout is ontop of a pole or spire and one shoots almost vertically. Or Archery-Golf with shoot-outs on a golf course where the same bow is used (like the one ball) but the arrows differ for different distances (like the different clubs) and the archer competes with a golfer.

All are much more fun than the discipline of standard target shooting. Better than computer games too.

Now, I must fly my virtual 747 to Athens. It is loading passengers in Istanbul as I speak.

-Percy, how would you feel about Pankration finally getting a chance in the summer games? With a few rule changes from the ancient days, of course.

As for videogames, the new ALIENS game coming out looks sick (good), but as of right now I'm playing thru the first 4 Command & Conquer games.

On a side note, when are we getting a new Mortal Kombat game that doesn't suck?

I mean, I want a game that follows the original platform.

Fallout III and Final Fantasy XIII.

Is that the fisticuffs+ one where the winner is the one left alive? I'm all for it if we could pitch some feminazis in there. I would happily see Germaine Greer get a sound thrashing.

Agreed on the Aliens game (called Colonial Marines I heard which is music to my ears).

As a Lucasfilm junkie I'm interested in The Force Unleashed and the next gen Indiana Jones game.

Then there's Ghostbusters: The Game written by the original movie team which should be fun.
I'm also keeping an interested eye on Age of Conan.

As bola says its not easy to find time to play this stuff but oh well one joy of not having a woman in my life is when I do have time to relax, the games machine is there for me

Rainbow six Vegas 2, Prototype, GTA 4, Left 4 Dead, Vegas, MGS 4 (tho I dont have a ps3 ) and Saints Row 2.

I was waiting on Army of Two and Frontlines Fuel of War but they are out now and I have to say they are the bloody bollocks. Kept me entertained for ages so they have.

GTA4.

It's looking more and morelike GTA4 will be my first venture into the series.
